#1 - INSANE price on the controllers
#2 - the buyer has excellent feedback
#3 - the buyer buys NES controllers on ebay like they're going out of style WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!?!?!?
Really... check the buyer *bunnyboi* feedback and check out what he's been buying? WTF??

Wow... Maybe he's trying to corner the market on NES controllers? Perhaps an off-the-wall art project like a sculpture made entirely out of control pads? Maybe he won an auction of 100 NES systems w/o controllers, and is trying to resell the systems as complete? Perhaps he just has a fetish for old-school control pads? Maybe he has short-term memory loss and doesn't remember bidding on any of the controllers he's already won?
Whatever the case, it sure does seem a bit odd...

that guy has bought controllers off of me before, always pays within a day or so. He never leaves feedback for anyone, but I could care less. He pays quickly and never complains, I don't care if he does some satanic burning ritual with them LOL

He probably fixes them all up and re-sells them with systems, or he just REALLY likes NES controllers.

Thanks for that!
I managed to find a site with lots of directions and free code for a PIC from the comments below that article!

The USB conversions sound plausible. Is there a regular re-seller of them on eBay? If so, it's probably the same guy under a different ID.

I have about 40 controllers that have been stored in our storage building for about 2 years that I need to put up for him to bid on,
